Topic: What I learnt from a crackhead about gambling - page 4. (Read 1344 times)

People are simply divided into two types in their attitude to both finances and their personal life. Someone likes excessive risk, does not take care of himself and the people around him, and someone considers every cent and values himself and others. Naturally, both of these types may be interested in gambling. Even if the first type will get into gambling addiction, it is likely he will be able to get rid of it, the second type is unlikely to be able to get rid of gambling addiction and will do things that will lead to a sad ending. In fact, a lot depends on our character and perception of life.

There are many people who gamble only for fun but after becoming addicted to gambling cannot be stopped. I used to gamble just for fun at first but later it got me addicted. Not only gambling, people are addicted to many things but the habit of losing money is an exception, because when there is a shortage of money then people change their behavior. However no one is forcing you to gamble or even befriending you, so gambling is your personal ritual and you can spend your money anywhere.

There's nothing to doubt about the fact that the advanced mode of being an addicted gambler is when they transcend to a crackhead gamblers, in this stage, the worst have been achieved, this is why it's very necessary to make sure that we should avoid every forms of unnecessary gambling attitudes that could get us addicted or misbehave from the normal way we should gamble, getting ourselves toxicated will do us no good than affecting our normal mental sense of reasonings.

Well, we have to be clear about something, in our life we will always have many things to experience, and many things to experience, that is, we will come across people who cannot show us certain things, certain activities that cannot be twisted, or they want to twist us, The key to all this is knowing how to make decisions and knowing how to say no, sometimes we, in order not to be poorly educated, let ourselves be fooled by certain eventualities from friends, family, anything from them, and we don't know how to say no, and that can bring us problems in every aspect, for example if I say no to drugs I protect myself, maybe for the friend who offers it to me I look like a fool, but what? There is no problem, we are still people with the power of decision and that is something that cannot be taken away because we are owners of our actions, and we are also too old to assume the consequences that lead to our decisions.

Having all these concepts very clear, we can decide what is best for us, sometimes saying no can save our lives, also everything that involves money, we should not make decisions lightly, because if we lose, who will pay for it? the casino? No, the casino is not to blame for our decisions, for that reason there are many people who think that addicted people are the fault of the casinos and it is not like that, because the casinos are just businesses, companies, business models, where Basically things have to be done based on what we all seek to have, it is a business where people obviously have to win, we as players decide how much money to put into the game, when and what games, because no one forces us, if we enter A casino is because we want to, because we decide so, because we want to have fun, and if we enter with the wrong idea thinking that the casino is a secure income, the same system will show us that this is not the case.

We survived by providing the important mails for our jobs. Seriously chasing the bag and not minding any business with anybody that doesn't involved payment slip. A person can be addictive to different sectors of things he or she gets engaged, it can be either drugs, music or gambling which I regard to become the very worst set of gamblers, these people have nothing to give other than thinking or having fantasy of the good lifestyle with well stable mainstream of cool cash and not some random chances which shouldn't be settle for any longer.

Even if there are some nuances among the different kind of addictions, like being addicted to an illegal substance, a legal one, or a behavioral addiction, it is true that at the end of the day all of them entail the same risks.

As people can destroy their health and finances with whatever addiction they have acquired, with this in mind it is important to not justify them in any way or form, otherwise people may believe there are types of addiction that are more benign and that are preferable over other addictions, something that is not true as all addictions regardless of their nature are undesirable.

The problem of addiction to gambling, drugs or alcohol has become a serious problem in many countries, so those who have not experienced it must always be careful not to fall into the trap of people who are already addicted. This is difficult to cure, especially if they have become seriously addicted because it requires more things to be able to make them aware and admit that he has an addiction. But perhaps no one knows the percentage number, and it requires more research to find out the exact number. All these addictions can have fatal consequences for health, mental health and finances, so we really have to be able to avoid them, and if we still want to gamble, we really have to be able to control ourselves well.

All of this just seems to want to justify addiction, that addictions other than gambling are much better even though all addictions are the same, they are equally damaging to people who are addicted and will also have a bad impact on their health and family because people who are addicted can do anything to keep it going to fulfill all these desires and when no more money can be used then crime is what we often see.
So we cannot justify any addiction because all types of addiction will bring destruction to the person who is addicted, even gambling sites have warned about the dangers of addiction on their websites.

Some other scenarios say that someone who is a gambling addict states that they are lucky not to be addicted to drugs, besides damaging health it is also illegal because of the abuse that can end up worse, like the undead.

There is nothing better between the addiction problems of either gambling or drugs, the issue of the amount of money spent, in drugs depends on what kind of drugs are used, because the price varies quite a lot depending on the type, as well as gambling, so I think there is no better element if you look at each of the two.
So the scary thing about both of them is the addiction" not the type, including other addictions because it is excessive which can make someone worse if they have an "addiction".

When talking about addiction, regardless of what you are into, both won't gave you positive results but instead get you into trouble. Majority of addicts in the society is comprised of 70% in gambling while 30% in drugs. I might be wrong but that is what I have observed here in my place. That crackhead you mentioned was literally correct about his choice but was still wrong on the other hand. Though the damage could be the same in the long run.

Gambling addiction or drug addiction can both be terrible for a person but gambling addiction is comparatively better than drug addiction. Drugs not only destroy the addict but also destroy the entire family. Gambling addiction may be easy to get out of, but drug addiction is much harder to get out of. If gambling is played properly then there is a possibility of making money from it but only bad side of drugs you can't find a good side of drugs. As long as a drug addict continues to use drugs, he will kill himself. If gambling can be played with self control then gambling can certainly create good chances for a gambler but even a small amount of drug use is very harmful for us. We must stay away from drugs as well as control gambling.

I doubt there are any fanciful difference between the two, they are both bad in their different ways nothing to prefer one over the other. I have also seen drug cracks sell off their valued properties and items in a very cheap prices just to get hign and stay high just because they couldn't hold it when the desire flamed. Worst still hard  drugs destroys the internal organs and system of the body gambling doesn't go that far, it only play with your head. Drugs kills faster than gambling can kill an addictive victim, notwithstanding both deviant ain't anything to prefer one over the other trying to make one seem good when none is in any sense.

Anything good has its own limit and when you over do it, they have their own bad effects and we know how entertaining the gambling can be and the same time dangerous if you over do it but I'm not sure if there is any benefits of doing drugs, there is nothing that you will say about drugs that is beneficial to man but gambling has in some degree if you utilize it in a very good manners. I don't understand why the comparison of gambling and drugs in the first place despite that gambling has addiction, it's not a close fair comparison in my opinion.


A drug addict hardly think like a normal human being because they are been influence by the the substances they take but gambling person usually are in there right senses just that they are been fanatics with the too much gambling effects, more like intoxicated behavior that don't give them proper judgement when it comes to decision. Gambling addiction and drug addiction don't comes close, I bet you have not seen a correction center for gambling addicts but we have many of them for drug addicts.

We don't really have to choose which addiction is the worst of the two, addiction isn't something to be taken lightly depending on how we perceive the degree that it destroys someone on a physical and mental level because all addictions are a bad thing that needs addressing and all of them deserve the same type of help. Seeing people telling that one addiction is worse than the other or vice versa is upsetting to me because we're putting a lower priority on the other addicts because we keep doing this kind of classification. Regards to what they do with this issue, it's basically nothing because no one's making significant changes to stuff in any countries out there and a lot of people still think that they don't deserve help or to go back to the society as a productive member of it, we don't like to admit it but we're all thinking it, that we should not help these addicts to go back, if there's any measure created to deal with this issue then we would've seen the effects already.

It is obvious it cannot be controled and will only lead to suffering and probably to struggle financially, however, I am not sure if there would be any reputable casino out there which would allow their clients/gamblers to consume cocaine or crack while they are sat by a table. It pretty much sounds like breaking the ettiquete of gambling, not even mention authorities would likely get involved and investigate the establishment (the first thing that comes to mind if the casino itself selling those drugs).

I have always gotten the impression both cocaine and crack are illegal and social drugs, so I am not sure I could picture a lonely gambler taking those drugs while gambling on their desktop. I have never dealt with people who take those things and I do not wish to or find out by myself.

This is not a fair comparison, because crack heads do spend money on drugs too, the funny thing is they don't feel right in their system unless they take the drugs, and running out of drugs is something they can't live with, they would rather go broke than not have the drug in their system.

Maybe the crackheads you see, but crack heads can be much worse than addicted gamblers, been a drug addict is way scary, because it involves their health life style, they only way drugs running in their gains and nothing else, that's why you will see some of the turning into a stick and have massive loss of weight.

Drugs feels good for them than eating, so to me there is no different in addiction, it's something that's generally bad, what can you advice a crack head that he will listen to you? If he gets better the next them he will tell you that you never advice him, they easily lose their head due to the drugs but gamblers isn't this cruel to themselves, they only waste money on casino games.

In my opinion, all types of addiction are not good, whether it is illegal drug addiction, food addiction, gambling addiction. All of these have their own negative impact on the health of internal organs, mental and financial and what is worse is that diseases like the ones you mentioned will have fatal consequences for oneself therefore we must be able to avoid things that too excessive so as not to experience addiction because of all this type of addiction is definitely bad.

Drugs are a serious problem that cannot be compared with gambling because their uses are different and have different levels of risk, but they have something in common, namely that they are equally detrimental to oneself. Drug addiction is no better than gambling addiction @OP must be able to understand it wisely.

You're talking about the ways and means that people have to spend money, which is a false comparison really. If someone was addicted to crack, they had access to $200k and suddenly that was the cost of their next hit, then they would likely exchange that sum of money to meet their fix. Both can be devastating at the far end of the spectrum, but gamblers - unless they are super rich - don't find it easy to put together that sort of money, they're often scrambling together small amounts. Each addiction can spend equal amounts over a life time, but beyond the mental dependency there is actually physical withdrawal outcomes which are quite severe for a drug addict which may force them to take more extreme measures to earn enough money to make that condition subside.

Anything that do connects or mention about addiction which is really that connected to drugs or other correlated things then its never been that good to human body and it would really be just not affecting your financial
status but also the condition of your mind and body on which it might really be causing up that kind of permanent damage on which you might really be not be able to get 100% normal once again.
Drug addiction is something that you cant really be able to make yourself that deal with if you dont like to mess up your life and this is  why as much as possible then you should avoid it
if ever you do able to encounter.

Gambling addiction is much better on sense but its not actually recommended. Both things could wreck up  your finances but somewhat here on gambling you wont really be that putting your body
condition at stake and this is why i could say that its a little bit better but somewhat not really that recommendable also. Everything should really be in moderation then you should really be just that fine.

Drug addiction is fatal if taken abusively, whereas, gambling addiction is only fatal to your financials.
You can easily get out of gambling if you do want to, however, hard to get out from drug addiction if your brain is already damaged by the drugs.
So yes, I can also say that drug addiction is worse than gambling. Your putting your life in a terrible and fatal situation.
But of course, do remember that both addiction is bad for you. You can gamble but should know your limits especially if you have financial problems.
